I am so excited I can hardly believe it. :thumbup:

I got on the scale this morning, the day before my birthday, and what did I see???????? The magic number - 169!!!!!!

I can't believe it. I have officially left the BMI land of obesity and am only overweight. This is the best birthday present I have had in soooooo many years . . . . I am embarrassed to say.

It has been a bit of a struggle to get here, but I am sooooo incredibly, wonderfully, ecstatically happy.

:cool2::wub::tt2: :thumbup: lala la la la, I love my band, lala la la la :mellow: :tt2::wub::wub:

Congratulations! I was so happy last month when I was no longer obese. It's these amazing milestones that keep me going.

Best wishes to both of us to get out of the overweight category on the bmi scale.< /p>

Congrats and take care.

Sue

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
